SEARCHNWORK, INC.

PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how SearchNWork, Inc.
(“Company” or “we” or “our” or “us”)
treats information collected or provided in connection with an end
user’s (“you” or “your” or “user”) use of
the website located at http://www.searchnwork.com (the “Site”). Please note
that your use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of this Policy as set forth below:

1. Collected Information. The information collected during your use of the Site includes the following:

(a) Submitted Information. As part of using the Site, you may submit certain information to us. For example, when registering for an account on our Site, we may collect information including personal information such as name, email address and LinkedIn login information. “Personal information” is information such as a name or email address that we can directly associate with a specific person or entity without additional information. To the extent you decline to share certain information with us, we may not be able to provide some or all of the features and functionalities found on the Site. Our online contact form also contains a “comments” field through which you may submit additional personal information. When paying to use the Site, you will provide payment information, such as billing address and credit card information. We do not store credit card numbers you may use to make payments on the Site. Payment information is passed on to our third-party payment processor which handles payments and refunds for us.

(b) Automatically Collected Information. When you use the Site, we gather certain non-personally identifiable information from you, and this information can be associated with your user account. This includes usage information, such as information on when, how often and for how long you use the Site, as well as server log data such as a computer’s IP address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site.

(c) Tracking and Cookies. The Site may use both web beacons and cookies to collect information. “Beacons” (also often referred to as “pixels”) are tiny graphics on a web page designed to track when a page is viewed. “Cookies” are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that are downloaded by your web browser or mobile device when you visit a website. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies when you access and use the Site. One use of cookies is, for example, to remember your user account information and your preferences, to customize the interface of the Site for you and to assist us in measuring and analyzing Site traffic. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. Persistent cookies can be removed. Please review your browser’s documentation to learn the best way to modify your cookie settings. Like many websites, the Site does not currently respond to “do not track” browser headers. But you can take steps to limit tracking by erasing cookies from your computer’s hard drive and by setting your browser to block all cookies or warn you before a cookie is stored.

(e) Analytics. We partner with certain third parties to collect non-personal information and to engage in analysis, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may use web logs or web beacons, and they may set and access cookies on your computer or other device. In particular, the Site uses Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed in this Policy. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.

(f) Social Networking Information. You may create your Site account by logging in through a social networking site such as LinkedIn (“Social Services”). Integration with Social Services allows us to offer a more personalized experience to you when you use the Site. When you log into the Site using your Social Service account, the Social Service will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to that Social Service (such as your profile picture, interests, and connections), and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with this Policy. Please remember that the manner in which Social Services use, store and disclose your information is governed by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of each Social Service, and not the Company.

2. Use of Information. We internally use the information we collect about you as follows:

(a) Provision of Services. We may use collected information for the purposes for which you provided the information including, for example, to create and maintain a Site account for you, to respond to a question that you e-mail to us and other legitimate business reasons. We also use the collected information as necessary to provide the features and functionality of the Site to you.

(b) Updates and Troubleshooting. We may also use the collected information to contact you regarding updates or modifications to the Site or to help troubleshoot problems, provide you with required notices in connection with disputes between you and another user or alert you to changes in our policies or agreements that may affect your use of the Site.

(c) Personalized Content. We may use the collected information to personalize the content that you and others see based on personal characteristics or preferences.

(d) Analytics and Improvements. We may also analyze collected information relating to your use of the Site in order to help us improve the Site and develop and improve other products and services.

(e) Promotional Offers. We may use the collected information to provide you with promotional materials and offers. However, we will give you the ability to opt out of receiving such e-mails in accordance with applicable law. We will not provide your personally identifiable information to third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

(f) Social Service Information. If you use a Social Service to log-in to your Site account, we may (1) give you the ability to invite your Social Service connections to use the Site, (2) connect you to your Social Service connections on the Site and (3) with your permission, post information regarding your Site usage to your Social Service account.

(g) Combination. We may combine personal information collected through the Site with other information that we or third parties collect about you in other contexts—such as our communications with you via email or phone, or your customer service records.

3. Disclosure of Information. We share and disclose the information we collect about you as follows:

(a) Third-party Service Providers. We use contractors and third-party service providers to assist us in payment services. Such third-party contractors or service providers may obtain access to the information you provide, including personally identifiable information. They are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Policy by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.

(b) Advertising. We may provide advertisers and other third parties with aggregated, non-personally identifiable information about our user base and its interests and usage patterns. We may partner with third party companies that allow us to deliver online advertisements to users who visit our site. This is a common practice called “retargeting.” As such, visiting the Site may cause cookies from such third parties to be downloaded by your browser for such purposes. For more information on such advertising and marketing practices, including the ability to opt-out of them, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org and http://www.aboutads.info.

(d) Direct Sharing. The Site may enable you to share directly personal and non-personal information with websites or online services operated by third parties. For example, the Site contains links to third-party websites that incorporate comment and social media features. If you choose to use these features, you may disclose your personal information not just to those third-party websites and services, but also to their users and the public generally. Because these third-party websites and services are not operated by us, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your personal and non-personal information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party websites or services, and not this Policy.

(e) Business Arrangements. We may disclose non-personally identifiable information to third-party partners in furtherance of our business arrangements with them, including without limitation to jointly offer a product or service to you or create interoperability between our products and services and the products and services of such partners.

In the event of a merger, sale of capital stock or assets, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction involving Company, the information we possess, including personally identifiable information, shall be transferred as a corporate asset to the acquiring entity.

(g) Legal Requirement. We will use and disclose information where we, in good faith, believe that the law or legal process (such as a court order, search warrant or subpoena) requires us to do so or in other circumstances where we believe it is necessary to protect the rights or property of Company, our users and/or third parties.

(h) Affiliates. We may disclose this information to our affiliates for use as described in this Policy.

4. Effective Date; Changes. When we make any changes to our practices under this Policy, we will change the Effective Date. We will treat your continued use of the Site following such change as your acceptance of the changes. However, we will seek your affirmative consent prior to applying any change to this Policy on how we use or disclose personally identifiable information to information we collected or received prior to the date of the change.

5. Third Parties. The Site may contain offers from third parties or links to third-party websites. This Policy does not apply to information that you may provide to or that may be collected by third parties. We encourage you to request such third parties to provide you with their applicable privacy policies and other terms and conditions before engaging with or making a purchase from such third parties.

6. Viewing, Amending and Deleting Information. You can log into your account and view, amend or delete your account information at any time. Please note that while changes to your profile information are reflected promptly in active user databases, our servers may retain previously provided information.

7. Security. The personally identifiable information we collect about you is stored in limited access servers. We will maintain reasonable safeguards to protect the security of these servers and your personally identifiable information. However, no security measures are 100% effective and we cannot guarantee the security of your personally identifiable information. We expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to ensuring, guaranteeing or otherwise offering any definitive promise of security in connection with your personal information or usage information.

8. Children Under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 and the Site is not directed at children under 18.
